We all stayed behind to see what the hubbub was about. Jaunty bagpipe music indicated a celebration. Much better than the usual solemn processions when a new resident is welcomed.
A young lady stopped beside our group. She quietly said, “I can feel you near.”
Not many connect with us, but those are the ones we treat with the respect they give us. When they leave, they take one last glance, whispering goodbye and promising to be back soon.
They are the living we cherish. The ones that recognize us as the true reason and meaning behind a memorial.

A memorial can be any form of recognition of those no longer walking beside us in person. It often has historical information and values we can learn from, not just who it represents, but also the land it calls home. How you embrace and respect the knowledge you are gifted is up to you.
